The last time I went out on my STS was a bit sad. Resulting in a snapped mech hanger. Fortunately, no damage to anything else (or so I thought).

Anyway, the replacement mech hanger has duly arrived from BETD, together with a spare. And some middleburn cable oilers. I’ve always wondered whether they were any good and as BETD now own Middleburn it seemed a plan.

Discovered mid assembly that the b screw had snapped off the rear mech too. Fortunately I had a spare mech handy.

All is not lost for your damaged mech. The broken part can be cannibalised from various Shimano mechs. Nice sts btw, seems crazy to follow thst statemwnt with i have a couple ive never ridden since building and may sell one or both.

Thanks Ian, ive long admired your STSs, do you know which mechs offhand? I took it to Bike Park Wales this weekend, Rode the blues and some reds ok. (I ran out of ability quite quickly.)
